As a new customer the answer is no. AOL is taking over an old account.

Which means no number porting.

This is correct. The answer is no. I'm a long time customer of verizon and I cannot get this but did get the loyalty plan that is 450 minutes, unlimited text and only 2 GB of data. Sorry, but you won't get this either unless you are very very lucky

Anybody can get the plan you just got . There is a long thread on slickdeals showing how easy it is to get even for new customers but that's not what this thread is about

My wife and I still have an unlimited Verizon plan. Did not know you could sell it that way. But the amount of money involved does not seem to be worth it unless we were planning to switch carriers. And where we live, Verizon has the best coverage. Their new plans cost more than we pay now.

1) Once the auction has ended, the seller will expect you to pay the $350-$450 before they even get on the phone to initiate the transfer.

2) I've noticed that several auctions are not just for 1 line with the unlimited data. Some sellers want you to take over their entire Verizon account with 2+ lines and all still in contract.

3) There's no guarantee...NONE...that Verizon won't modify the unlimited data feature in some way. For instance, it only took AT&T a year or so before they implemented the 3GB/5GB throttling policy. Once you go over those amounts, AT&T brings you down to 2G or less.

4) Lastly, it's not the most financially-sound decision to make. You're essentially paying $350-$450 for an intangible item that the seller technically doesn't even own. Verizon is offering the seller an account, but the ownership of that account is still held by Verizon.

If you are using more than 10 gigs a month then it does make sense to get unlimited data even if it's $800 you will still come out ahead and Verizon isn't going to take unlimited data away for at least 2 more years due to FCC rules concerning the 700mhz spectrum and they can't slow down people and are still offering unlimited data on buisness accounts. The bottom line unlimited data is going to last a long time
